Here are some photos of Lady Gaga at South by Southwest in Austin yesterday. She appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night and then she performed at some smaller venue, still hustling for her epic failure of an album, ARTPOP. Her performance gear was obvious enough – it’s just a bikini and a wig. Of course, Gaga had to mix it up with some fake vomit though. I’m serious.
Lady Gaga kicked off 24 hours in the spotlight at South By Southwest in typically memorable fashion.
The pop provocateur began her appearance at Stubb’s BBQ on Thursday night during the annual music festival and conference by roasting herself on a spit like a gutted pig as her dancers basted her with barbecue brushes — and then things got really weird. Part S&M sex club homage, part affirmational session, the show sponsored by Doritos to benefit her Born This Way Foundation included moments meant to provoke and others meant to inspire.
Gaga’s set began with an attractive woman eating barbecued sausages in a provocative manner. Soon after completing the smoked meats portion of her hourlong show, Gaga invited friend Millie Brown on stage to assist on “Swine.” Brown, a “vomit painter,” proceeded to drink a full bottle of neon green liquid before forcing herself to throw up on the singer as she played drums.
The pair then climbed aboard a mechanical bull-like pig equipped with a ball gag and a keyboard. Gaga straddled Brown atop the pig and played the keys as they bucked in circles. Brown then painted Gaga with a black liquid that stained the singer’s skin throughout the performance. The entire show wasn’t meant to titillate, however. There were moments aimed at inspiration.
Gaga was invited to SXSW to do this performance and to give the “keynote speech” today on behalf of her fraud charity. Does anyone even care anymore? If you do care – care enough to glance at her stupid costumes – here are the videos from her appearance on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. At first she starts out talking in this completely bizarre little-girl/p0rn-star voice, but it fades throughout the interview because she’s a crappy actress and she can’t keep up the façade. Also: cocaine.
Yes, the dress is made of coffee filters. She’s an idiot.

*Yawn*.
Next!
(And I will fully admit to being one of the BIGGEST little monsters around when she first came out….)
i hope she just goes back to being the hilarious chick who dry humped a dolphin swimming toy in a paddling pool and made awesome pop music one of these days.
I skipped through the videos because I realized I’ve never heard her talk before. The sexy baby voice is so gross.
Me too, horrible.
Dunno about coke, I’m not sure what drug makes you think you’re Minnie Mouse but you can certainly see it wearing off in her voice.
I can’t. Go away, Gaga. You don’t even look kooky anymore, you look like an idiot.
Helium?
Mild head trauma?
“There were moments aimed at inspiration.”
Swing and a miss.
I truly just can’t.
Why is she still even a thing? Honestly?
Seriously, does she still think the try-harding doesn’t work because she is trying not hard enough?
Yeah she’s done. Pulling stunts like this in a career that’s only 5-6 years old? The only thing left is having an orgy on stage,which I’m sure will be be next.
+1 At least we can say Madonna had a long career before the thirst really set in.
True that.
That could be the next Miley’s trick.
Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time
I love Monty Python references!!
Pure awesomeness!
God… Can’t she just go away?
I am bored of her. She needs to go away already. She is just coming off as very desperate and pathetic when she does all of this. I just want her to go away and on her way out, leave her man with me! 😉
I wish she could just wear some normal clothes and let the music stand out, she’s still an incredibly talented woman.
Yes. She’s a talented artist. Leave the circus behind, Gaga.
She has been dressing “normal” a lot more often of late. The problem is that ARTPOP is a bad album and there is no music that stands out. I actually like a few songs off the album (Dope and Gypsy) but everythings so over-produced and some of the lyrics are embarrassingly bad. As much as I enjoy the beat and Gaga’s vocals in G.U.Y, the actual song lyrics leave me cringing every time. So she kind of has to rely on shock tactics at this point. Maybe call this one a miss and get back in the studio?
Good grief. Someone just make her stop. Being weird and obnoxious just for the sake of it doesn’t mean its art, it just means you’re weird and obnoxious. Vomit painting? Someone needs to just make Gaga go away, she’s insufferable.
This costume thing is old. If you have talent why do the whole circus thing?
I used to think she was cool. Now she looks like a desperate has-been. It’s a shame because she really is talented. Bought into her own “I’m an ARTIST” hype.
I totally agree. I feel embarrassed for her.
Me too. It’s painful to see her desperation. And it keeps getting worse. Take your $$$ and disappear.
I loved her first album. I can’t believe the day has come when I can fully disclose that I am less annoyed by Miley than I am Lady Gaga. Or that Miley may be more relevant.
Do you think she realizes she has become boring and predictable?
Nope.
I think her biggest problem is that she really does think she is the sh*t, while all of us are now bored and disgusted by her. Her head is so far up her own *ss that she is no longer truly creative, interesting, or even a nice person and she doesn’t even realize that.
At this point even I’m embarrassed for her.
I flicked it on for a couple minutes last night and it was so lame. Kimmel was kissing her ass so bad it was sad. At one point I think he called her the greatest artist of all time, or the greatest something of all time, it was so lame I think my mind just shut it down.
Sorry I still love her to bits.
I find her sweet, funny and entertaining in interviews.
And Gareth Pugh is amazing, I love the crazy outfits and hope she never stops wearing them.
I’m glad she’s still around. I will continue to buy her albums and pay to see her preform.
I think she has a lot of talent as a musician and she should focus on that and leave the theatrics alone.
She needs to go away for a year, maybe two, get back to her music and then come back with a new album and leave the meat-dresses, vomit-artists (I can’t believe I just typed that), and all the “I am an ARTIST” crap in the past.
What the hell is wrong with her? I think she should just be grateful she was a big star for a while & just retire. It’s over, Gaga. Come back if you get better music.
She reminds me of the ladies from abfab in that one pic (which is an insult to AbFab); please, she never was that good or talented – Rufus wainwright was right – she has only 3 or 4 decent songs that might – might – be played 5 or 10 years from now. Better music than hers from the 90s is forgotten – This is what happens when ego and narcissism precede talent.
And lets be honest she’s a manufactured pop product; there’s nothing cool about that – Janis Joplin was cool, Freddie mercury, jim Morrison ditto, not this annoying little girl. The term ‘cool’ should never be used in conjunction with manufactured pop products.
…. Didn’t someone make a dress out of coffee filters years ago on Project Runway? I vaguely remember seeing that happen – and I stopped watching Project Runway YEARS ago.
If so.. Then, she is so desperate to stay in the public eye, she’s ripping off aspiring fashion designers who were desperate to GET into the public eye by going on a reality/competition show.
Wow… That is so… ARTISTIC.
Watching her is like watching the fifth element movie and they did it better
That’s it, I think she’s officially lost her mind.
Well, the vomit was appropriate, anyway.
I don’t like how she accessorizes with gays. It’s cringe-worthy.
